This summer will see "the last great American rock band" (The Independent) play its biggest ever UK show outside of London, as Foo Fighters headline Manchester's 57,000 capacity City of Manchester Stadium on Monday 02 June 2008.

Tickets for the show will be on sale as of 10am this Friday 14th December at ticketmaster.co.uk and gigsandtours.com, with a six ticket limit per application.

Coming in the wake of an instantly sold out two-night stand at Wembley Stadium (163,000 tickets sold in 24 hours), Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace entering the UK chart at #1 with the year's biggest first week sales by an international artist and the biggest first week sales ever on iTunes UK, as well as five Grammy nominations including their first ever for Album of the Year and Record of the Year, Friday's on-sale marks a phenomenal end to the Foo Fighters' most amazing year to date.
